I like Rom because I think Grand Nagus Rom really fits into the spirit of this event. This is supposed to be a celebration of Deep Space Nine, and Rom's journey (from incompetent background near-extra to new face of the Ferengi Alliance) really encapsulates a lot of what was fun and unique about Deep Space Nine - its long-form storytelling and evolving, dynamic characters.

I also think he could potentially be a very unique Ferengi personnel - not your typical Nagus (it may be asking too much that he be the centerpiece of a brand new kind of Ferengi deck design, reflecting the "new ideals" of the Ferengi that he represents, but I'd like to see that).

I also like Benny Russell, but I think his "story" is best told in a manner that goes beyond a mere personnel - much like Kamin. A personnel like Benny Russell would probably look a lot like the 19th-century personnel from "Time's Arrow" - not all that useful in the long run, eventually becoming binder fodder. But a Benny Russell-like Incident, which interacts with the Prophets or Pah-Wraiths, would have a lot more depth.

Bah! Forget Grand Nagus Room. He totally hippy-dippy-ed the entire Ferengi Alliance!

If that's the story line we're going with, give me 'True Ferengi' Quark! Rig the Dabo Wheels! Water Down the Drinks! Pay the staff nothing! Make Quark's Bar Great Again!

:P

I voted for Facets Dax.. it's an episode of DS9 I like, and interesting character options.

For 2nd vote, I went for Rom... the previous argument was compelling, plus he's as close to a nerd as Ferengi seem to get, I like that :)


Just pleasepleaseplease not the O'Briens.. Miles has been a least favorite of the DS9 mains, and Keiko rubs me the wrong way.

We can make a Rom who isn't named Rom but just "Ferengi Pit Boss", as he was credited as on Emissary.

If you're not listening to The Greatest Generation, then you should be based on that comment. :wink:
